Resource Conservation … Leads to Price Hikes

April 17, 2024 Steve MacDonald

One of the golden rules of dealing with proglodytes is that if it’s something you need or enjoy, they try to make it more expensive so you’ll have or use less of it. This manifests as sin taxes or, in the case of things like water or energy, they use fear as a policy to drive up costs, forcing you to use less.

DISQUS Doodlings – Toilet Tyrannies, Socialist Shower Heads, and what else did I forget?

September 4, 2020 Skip

Sometimes I get a little pat on the back from one of the “managerial Elite” over at Treehugger. I’m generally the guy that is orthogonal to most of the folks there. Like Bruce Currie is here but with one big exception – I don’t disparage the information that is brought up and I don’t call them names.

DISQUS Doodlings – “Water is a Human Right?”

August 28, 2020 Skip

Just so many topics covered here in the TreeHugger post “Good News for the Rich: Their Fancy Showers Can Waste More Water“. Just another reminder that the “world’s largest site for sustainability issues” is rapidly dropping the “sustainability” mask and replacing it with the Eco-Socialist (heavy emphasis on the Socialist bit) mask.

DISQUS Doodlings – Toilet Tyrannies, Socialist Shower Heads, and “Who Chooses?”

August 24, 2020August 23, 2020 Skip

Emphasis mine: But he [Trump] is a man of action and instructed the EPA and the Department of Energy to change the rules. An energy department spokesperson says “If adopted, this rule would undo the action of the previous Administration and return to Congressional intent, allowing Americans – not Washington bureaucrats – to choose what … Read more

DISQUS Doodlings – Toilet Tyrannies, Socialist Shower Heads, and Dementia Joe

August 22, 2020 Skip

Over at Treehugger, they continue to rail against people who choose for themselves even over showerheads and toilets. You know, the Chinese Water Torture showerheads that just drips….drips….drips. Then you have the flush a number of times toilet where #2 wants to hang out with you for a couple of days.

Despite Years of Water Restrictions NH Towns Keep Adding More Mouths to Drink

April 30, 2023August 21, 2020 Steve MacDonald

I can’t remember the last time my town of Merrimack did not have some sort of water use restriction. Every year, regardless of the precipitation, even in heavy years, we are told to limit water use in the summer.

Why Did Chris Sununu Sign a Bill Cramming Hundreds of Millions in Costs Down on NH Towns?

July 24, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The governor has signed a bill setting ridiculously low and arbitrary water standards on every town and city in the State. Municipalities will need a few hundred million statewide to meet these standards with no basis in sound science (hey, VT did it!). Money that neither the towns nor the State has to spend. Related: … Read more

Quick Thought – No water for Merrimack?

April 30, 2020 Skip

Watching WMUR Daybreak and they reported that the Town of Merrimack is “waterless” due to water main break near the Turkey Hill pumping station. Hmmm, usually when there is NO water, regular schools are dismissed and students are sent home. But EVERY student is now being homeschooled, right? And they are ALSO out of water. How … Read more

The PA Dept. of Env. Protection: Fracking is Not Spoiling Our Streams and Rivers

February 19, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The Arabs and Russian’s have spent millions in the US trying to make Fracking into some sort of evil. The UAE even backstopped an anti-fracking movie. But a study funded in part by the Pennsylvania Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) just undid much of that.

December 15, 2019December 15, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Democrat Mindi Messmer Suddenly Cares About Unborn Babies?

December 4, 2019December 3, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Mindi Messmer is a New Hampshire Democrat. That means with few exceptions terminating a pregnancy from conception to birth. You’ll be hard-pressed to find another sort. So, to hear her claim to care about a fetus, you’d be right to ask what the government has to gain from that stance?
